Finally all moved in...well, mostly

We have almost finished unpacking - but close enough to take a few pictures so you get the idea. The only room not photographed is the office/guest room. It is what it is...so if you want to see that room, you have to come for a visit :)

For those who may not have heard....

From the Reading Eagle:
Sally Jean Prann Carter, 58, Fort Smith, Ark., died Sept. 11, 2008, in Fort Smith.

This also appeared in newspapers in Fort Smith, AR, and Little Rock, AR.

Back Home

Well, we are back home in Georgia after a difficult and emotional week in Arkansas.

It was great seeing everyone, especially Uncle Richard and Uncle Cork, who we haven't seen in a while.

We got back Friday night, and I hustled over to school to try to catch the halftime show. I didn't make it, but it was good to see the kids. At least 10 different kids said, "We're glad you're back." Still, it was a lot harder emotionally than I thought it would be. I thought I would just walk in there, say hello to the kids, and things would be as normal. Things were normal, but at the same time they weren't. I can't really describe it.

So it's back in the saddle on Monday, ready or not. (I'm not ready, but it doesn't matter, does it?)

Stay safe, everyone....

one crazy summer!

Sorry it's been a while since we blogged. June and July were NUTS! After a week of painting, we finally moved in our new house on July 11th. I still have not taken "final" pictures as we still have boxes here and there and I don't think the house is ready for it's close-up yet :) But - I have added to our photo album so you can see all the painting we did (except for the guest bathroom - no pics - oops... you can see it in the "final" batch to be taken soon hopefully).

I know Jacob's blog is much more important - so I'm going to update it as well. We definitely need some new video of him as he's changed so much this summer and has been a ton of fun!

Catching Up

What a crazy few weeks!! The last 2 weeks of June were spent traveling. We spent a week in Louisiana with my parents while Hank worked a camp at McNeese State University for most of the time, and Jacob and me hung out with Papaw and Grammaw. The next week was spent in Arkansas visiting Hank's parents. We had a great time with everyone!

Before we left for our trip, we were watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on Food Network and they had an episode called "The Memphis BBQ Tour". We knew we'd be passing through Memphis on our way home, so we picked one of the featured restaurants and stopped in. YUMMY!!! stuff...We got to chat with the owner and he told us all about the TV show filming and how it's increased his business. Wish it was closer. Oh well.


Since we've gotten back home, we closed on a house last week and this week are in the midst of painting and getting ready to move in.

Until next time....

Fun at the pool

Now that Hank is out of school, we can go to the pool when it's not so hot and crowded. Jacob had a blast with his gator that Grammy sent him. Thanks Grammy! We since have bought him some floatie "muscles" for next time. We are getting all the pool time in before we move away from the pool :(

Offer Accepted!

We put an offer on a house yesterday and today IT WAS ACCEPTED!! Here's the listing.

Here's an album of some more pictures we took.

YAY for a back yard!!!
